Did I Do This Right? (Add-A-Leaf Spring Install)

[GUGISMAN]

1) Before I finish the other side, do you see any issues/problems?

This is the 46" MAF Add-A-Leaf, installed on rear axle of my 03/69 FJ40. (Pics are of driver side.)

2) Also, does the front spring pack look right?

Thank you in advance!

Looks good enough. For me.

Thanks. I've never messed with springs before and hope these were correct before, and after, the add-a-leaf.

Many people use the Rancho Jeep Wrangler add-a-leafs and remove the two bottom-most leaves in the pack. This still gives ~1.5" of lift and results in a compliant ride.

I presume you didn't remove any leaves? Is the ride quality acceptable?

I don't know yet... it should be.

I'm adding close to 500lbs to the rear with water storage tank, swing-out tire carrier/storage rack, roof rack+ drawer unit inside.

I needed the load capacity, which, with the added weight, should give me a decent ride with less sag.

I was looking for reassurance on the install since it's a first for me.

Thanks for checking!

That looks a lot nicer than my rusty old crap did after I added them!

Remember to retorque your U-bolts after a couple weeks of driving.

True that... They were loose when I started the Add-A-Leaf project.
